Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

“Every few years, a group of ignorant fools like this always emerge.”

"This brat seems to be a supernova who recently entered the Grand Line, right? In such a short time, he probably hasn't even learned Haki yet, has he? Hehe, I love teaching these arrogant brats a lesson and seeing their incredulous expressions."

……

Just as the officers of the Whitebeard Pirates were becoming interested and eager to make a move,

To the astonishment of many of the Whitebeard Pirates' officers, Whitebeard actually stood up from the throne of the Moby Dick, and even strode towards the bow of the ship with the posture of holding the Supreme Grade Sword Murakumogiri.

At this moment, the Whitebeard Pirates' officers present were almost completely dumbfounded, except for Marco, whose eyes revealed a hint of having expected it.

'What's appearing before me isn't just my friend's son...'

Perhaps, Dad is also responding to some promise he made with Roger?

Recalling the past interactions between Whitebeard and Roger, Marco felt a pang of emotion, then took a step and followed beside Whitebeard.

As Whitebeard's towering figure appeared at the bow of the "Moby Dick," his signature crescent-shaped mustache accentuated his exceptionally imposing presence, and he slammed the Murakumogiri sword heavily at his feet.

"boom!"

The next moment, the white-bearded man's incredibly hearty laughter rang out amidst the storm. "Gurararara, where did this brat come from? How dare he challenge me?"

Facing Whitebeard's imposing and domineering figure from afar, Ace, his body ablaze with flames, responded with unparalleled fervor.

"Whitebeard, I will definitely defeat you and become the Pirate King!!!"

Chapter 666 Whitebeard and Ace's Encounter

[Chapter 666. Reunion in the Storm]

"Gurararar!! The Pirate King? And you're planning to become the Pirate King by stepping on my name? How arrogant and conceited you are, brat!" Whitebeard said with a loud laugh.

"Try it and you'll see if this is just arrogance, Whitebeard!" Ace responded loudly, issuing another challenge.

"Kid, if that's how it is, then come with me if you dare..."

Whitebeard uttered a bold and domineering statement, and then ordered the Whitebeard Pirates fleet, led by the "Moby Dick," to turn and head towards a nearby deserted island.

As Whitebeard faced off, Ace's face was filled with confidence and joy.

Before this, Ace was quite worried that the rumored Whitebeard was a coward who dared not fight, so he would have to lead his crew to challenge the entire "Whitebeard Pirates".

Now, all that's needed is for Whitebeard to have a fair and square duel.

If I defeat Whitebeard and accomplish what that bastard Roger couldn't do, then that will be enough to prove that I am not merely the so-called son of Roger, but Portgas D. Ace!!!

At this moment, recalling all that had happened in the past, Ace's fighting spirit surged like never before.

If I defeat Whitebeard, my life will no longer be overshadowed by Roger!

"Follow!"

Ace loudly relayed the orders to his comrades!

Whitebeard glanced sideways at the Spade Pirates chasing after them from afar behind the storm, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.

'You've got guts, kid…'

For once, Whitebeard felt a rare surge of anticipation, a sense of excitement for the upcoming battle with Ace.

However, Whitebeard's joy did not last long. A look of astonishment and confusion appeared on his face, and he suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the "Spade Pirates".

Suddenly, the Spade Pirates' ship changed its previous course of close pursuit, then abruptly turned ninety degrees and quickly headed in another direction.

"Hahaha, did you run away? That brat."

"As expected, he's just a brat who talks big, I didn't expect him to actually escape."

"It seems that once I actually saw my father, I couldn't suppress my fear anymore..."

Amidst the discussions among the many cadres, the white-bearded man couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.

Even though Whitebeard only had a brief encounter with Ace, he could sense Ace's courage and youthful spirit. How could such a brat possibly flee without a fight?

After thinking for a moment, Whitebeard spoke up.

"Chase after them."

As Whitebeard issued his order, even though most of his officers were surprised that Whitebeard would unusually argue with a mere kid, they carried it out without hesitation, directing the Whitebeard Pirates fleet to turn and quickly pursue the Spade Pirates.

……

Meanwhile, on the pirate ship that the Spade Pirates had turned around on, Ace's face was still filled with shock, his incredulous eyes fixed on what lay ahead.

Even though Ace had instinctively given the order to turn the ship around, his head was still buzzing and he was in a daze.

That person just now was... Sabo?!

In the midst of a howling storm, even though visibility was significantly impaired and it was impossible to clearly see the exact appearance of the person appearing on the sea.

But that's Saab!

It must be Sabo, who was killed by artillery fire while sailing alone several years ago!

No doubt about it, no doubt about it, that's my sworn brother Sabo!

Even though Sabo's physique and outline have changed drastically compared to a few years ago, Ace still felt a sense of familiarity and a deep, heartfelt excitement almost instantly, and...

Even through a storm, Sabona's signature smile still shines through!

Ace bit his lip hard, his eyes filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Sabo!!!"

Ace immediately shouted loudly towards the hazy figure on the sea in the distance, his voice filled with unparalleled excitement.

At that moment, even though Whitebeard, the target Ace had been desperately pursuing at sea, was right in front of him, Ace chose to chase after Sabo almost without the slightest hesitation.

In response to Ace's call, the person who had his back to Ace turned around and looked back at him, lightly flicking the brim of his hat with his index finger as if he were wondering about something, before turning away again.

Seeing Sabona's familiar and habitual movements so vividly familiar to Ace, Ace could no longer contain himself and leaped onto a specially made boat suspended from the hull of his own pirate ship. He then waved his hand and burned the ropes securing the boat.

The next moment, before the small boat carrying Ace had even fallen into the sea, the flames released by Ace erupted from its stern, propelling it with tremendous power. Like a crimson meteor, it pierced through the howling stormy sea, rapidly chasing after Sabo.

Almost instantly, the crimson meteor carrying Ace caught up with Sabo, who instinctively turned to look at Ace.

As the two drew closer, even as the storm intensified, Ace was able to clearly see Sabo's appearance.

She had short, wavy blonde hair, familiar facial features, and a confident yet polite smile, except for a burn-like scar on her left eye.

That's right!

Sabo!!!

At this moment, Ace's eyes shone with unprecedented excitement and joy as he shouted, "Sabo, you're still alive..."

However, seeing Ace's joy, Sabo's eyes revealed a hint of confusion and doubt, and he politely asked.

Hello, when did we meet before?

"You bastard..."

Immersed in joy, Ace subconsciously thought Sabo was joking and instinctively reached out to punch Sabo in the chest.

However, facing Ace's fist, Sabo spread his five fingers apart, making a gesture similar to a three-finger dragon claw to block Ace's fist, and then said with a hint of warning.

“Sir, if you do anything else, I will assume you are trying to attack me.”

For a moment, Ace was completely stunned.

As sworn brothers, Ace knew Sabo too well. Even though they hadn't seen each other for several years and his appearance had changed considerably, Ace could still tell without a doubt that the person in front of him was Sabo.

But... why this reaction?

What exactly happened to Sabo?

Chapter 667 Reunion in the Storm

[Chapter 667. The Brothers Swallowed Up]

"you……"

However, before Ace could speak, the entire sea suddenly began to shake violently.

Sabo, as if sensing something, stared intently at the sea below and spoke.

"Sir, please do not interfere with my mission, and please leave immediately. That thing will be out soon."

Sensing the unusual commotion, Ace struggled to steady the small boat beneath his feet and asked, "What's that?"

"Pure gold lanternfish..."

As Ace listened to Sabo's reply, he suddenly felt a light beneath his feet and instinctively looked down.

It was only then that Ace noticed that Sabo was able to move so quickly on the surface of the sea because he was standing on the head of some kind of giant sea king.

Besides that, what shocked and baffled Ace the most was that a golden light source, resembling a giant light bulb, appeared in the seawater, and the golden light source was gradually getting bigger.

Centered on Ace and Sabo, the entire sea surface was now rising up like hills.

"What is this thing?!"

The next moment, as the golden light source drew closer, Ace's eyes suddenly saw a gaping maw hidden beneath it, as wide as an abyss.

A terrifying, gaping maw, comparable in size to... an island.

In an instant, the once high-rising sea surface reversed, and the gaping maw, like an endless abyss, swallowed everything. A terrifying whirlpool suddenly appeared in the sea, and everything in the whirlpool was being rapidly swallowed by the gaping maw.

"Run away!"

Seeing such a terrifying scene, even with Ace's arrogance and pride, he subconsciously had the idea of ​​running away. He spewed out a large amount of flames from the stern of the small boat beneath his feet for propulsion, and reached out to grab Sabo's arm, not forgetting to take Sabo with him as he fled.

However, Sabo casually slapped Ace's hand away, his eyes fixed on the gaping maw below.

Anxious, Ace watched the gaping maw below grow ever clearer and hurriedly warned, "Hey, Sabo, what are you doing? Run!"

"Sir, as I have already said, do not interfere with my mission. Please make your own escape as soon as possible."

Sabo said politely, then his five fingers transformed back into a three-fingered dragon claw and slammed it down on the sea king he was standing on.

"Oh!"

The terrifying destructive force instantly pierced through the head of the sea king beneath its feet, preventing the sea king from instinctively trying to escape the whirlpool.
